LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Jr. National Showcase
Desmond Francis is a 2026 SS/MIF/OF with a 5-9 165 lb. frame from Indianapolis, IN who attends Park Tudor. Lean athletic build with plenty of room to get stronger. Outstanding runner, 6.43 in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense, has smooth athletic actions to the ball, tends to get his hands down late, high 3/4's arm slot, arm strength is more suited to second base at the next level. Also worked out in center field and has potential there, speed is a big asset and his arm works better there than in the infield. Right handed hitter, hits from a narrow upright stance with a hanging leg raise trigger, has a short swing with a downhill path into contact, works the middle of the field with line drive contact, high contact approach that will put the ball on the ground often. Good student.
